If I export the pages as separate JPG images they are about 2mb each with a few later pages. If I load it into Publisher and export out a PDF before making any changes (or after making any changes) the resulting file is over 400mb in size. The software it was created in generated about a 30gb file. I do have another PDF export issue that's driving me nuts though. Individual PDF page export would be handy at times but not a daily workflow issue. As long as I have one image file per page auto export for JPG, PNG, etc. I do card game layouts and need to export individual cards to Image files for the printer. If I was going to be using this myself, this might be a good enough reason to experiment with a little AppleScript to do the same job to avoid this bug.ĭunno how easy this would be if you're a Windows user, but I'm sure it could be done one way or another. Certainly not insurmountable, but definitely inelegant. Not too big a deal with an 8-page document, but could be inconvenient with 100 pages. In each of several tests, the split files ended up on my Desktop and not where I'd asked them to go. One caveat… There seems to be a bug - at least on my machine - where it fails to remember the Save Output target (shown above as a folder called TEMP). The resulting single-step workflow (a simple standalone desktop utility) just requires you to drag and drop your PDF onto it and it will produce the individual page files.
In fact, I'm on a Mac and it's the work of just a couple of minutes to put together an Automator workflow that specifically does this. Your PDF export doesn't work that way right now - but it might be possible to find an external utility to split your multi-page PDF files into single-page files. I honestly don't think it could have worked any other way - neither PNG nor JPG are multi-page formats. And in each case, I got one image file per page - exactly what you've asked about. I have just tested this with exporting pages (not spreads, though I don't think that would make the slightest difference) first to PNG's and then to JPG's.
